Apple Industries Appoints Rosenberg Director Of Operations

BAYCHESTER, NY -- Neal Rosenberg has joined photobooth company Apple Industries as director of operations. "We have grown so fast in the past three years that it became necessary to find a key person to oversee our complete internal operations day to day," said Apple president Allen Weisberg. "Neal is a perfect match for our company."

Rosenberg is a lifelong member of the coin machine industry and last year was presented with the Joe Robins Award, the American Amusement Machine Association's highest honor. He most recently served as president of Elaut USA, which represents the business interests of Belgium's Elaut NV, a maker of skill cranes and other amusement products, in the United States. Prior to Elaut, the industry veteran spent two decades at Betson Enterprises (Carlstadt, NJ) as director of operations.

Early in his career, Rosenberg joined his late father, Leo, to form Beverly Music & Vending Services, which provided technical support to smaller operating companies. The elder Rosenberg was a close business associate of Weisberg's father, Abe, who also provided contract technical services.

Rosenberg called Apple Industries the premier company in the photobooth category and predicted its continued growth in the year ahead. "At this stage in my career," he said, "the excitement has definitely returned. I am happy to contribute to Apple's growth."

Apple Industries manufactures and markets the Face Place photobooth and is the North and South American representative for Digital Centres of Barcelona, Spain. The Digital Centres New Generation photobooth delivers the patron's choice of color or black-and-white digital photos on four-view strips.
